Discrete techniques applied to low-energy mobile human activity recognition. A new approach

Description

Human activity recognition systems are currently implemented by hundreds of applications and, in recent years, several technology manufacturers have introduced new wearable devices for this purpose. Battery consumption constitutes a critical point in these systems since most are provided with a rechargeable battery. In this paper, by using discrete techniques based on the Ameva algorithm, an innovative approach for human activity recognition systems on mobile devices is presented. Furthermore, unlike other systems in current use, this proposal enables recognition of high granularity activities by using accelerometer sensors. Hence, the accuracy of activity recognition systems can be increased without sacrificing efficiency. A comparative is carried out between the proposed approach and an approach based on the well-known neural networks.
